Sunday long run to end my weekend. 😊🏃‍♀️ ♡♡♡ Finally did it after trying for weeks now to reach the elusive distance.
The goal for this morning's run was to run 18km but ended up with a little bit more after miscalculating the distance to my end point. Not complaining tho' just happy that i was able to accomplish my goal. ♡♡♡ Eversince the pandemic erupted here in Singapore and the measures have been tighter, i have been struggling to find the motivation to do long runs. Especially since i'm used to doing it in the city and having friends run with me. Chit-chatting while running makes the distance seem to pass by quickly and bearable. This is me saying that i miss my friends and that this isolation is hard. Still trying to be optimistic that all of this would all be over soon.🙏

Re-started our fitness journey today. I haven’t been feeling good about my body or my mental health these last couple of weeks, so Josh suggested we make a change somewhere. He’s been very aware of my body image struggles and my mental health struggles, and has been so supportive through it all. (A+ boyfriend, y’all. He’s the damn best. 🥰)⁣

Fitness has always been something I can turn to when I am struggling in any way. When I first started struggling with my mental health when I moved away to Calgary, running was my remedy and avenue of choice. Whenever I felt like the world was getting to be too much, I ran. Sometimes for 20 minutes, sometimes for two hours. Whatever felt right and needed. So, today, to help combat my mental health and body image struggles, we made a plan and commitment to each other to incorporate more fitness and less TV/movies/video games into our daily routine. ⁣

We got a 7 kilometre walk, and 3 kilometre run in today. It was our first run together, and my first run in probably six or seven years. It was slow. I was sweating profusely. My knees were aching a bit. But god, it felt good to put sneakers to the pavement for the first time in a long time. Running is therapy. And this form of therapy is just what I needed. 👏🏻 • #jandkgetfit

Absolutely knackered after an epic boxing session this morning! 🥊
The great thing about boxing for fitness is it’s a great stress release, improves your cardiovascular fitness and you can knock out (pun totally intended) a great session in just 30 minutes!
Get yourself some gloves and join a gym that has boxing bags and give this session a go ➡️ .

Yesterday we were supposed to be flying to Italy. Venice to be exact, for our 2 week honeymoon. Obviously that was cancelled, but we tried to make the best of it. We dressed up in outfits we would have worn there, made our own pasta, had Italian sourdough with oil and burrata, Italian wine, and gelato for dessert. It was a great night!
Life really is what you make it. You can either sit around complaining, or you can do your best to work with what you have.
